Mrs. Barthlomew has been a teacher for 31 years.  After one of those years a parent came to her to say that being in Mrs. Bartholomew's class had saved her daughter's life.  The student hated school and wanted to drop out in 4th grade.  In the class she felt important to her fellow students and to the teacher.  This student went on to high school and is now married with children of her own.  Mrs. Bartholomew creates a safe place for her students and cares about who they are and their progress.  She shares ideas and strategies with her fellow teachers and always has an interesting story to tell.  Her favorite color is blue.  She likes to eat halibut fish and chips.  Her favorite music is the "The Man from Snowy River" Sound Track.  Her favorite season is summer and her best school subject is math. She likes, camping, hunting, fishing, reading children's books, and stitcheries. Her favorite place to go is Moosehorn Lake in the Unitah's.  She jumped off a 65 foot cliff into the water of Lake Powell and would like to explore Austrailia.
